FOLLOWING THE UNVEILING of a massive circulation scam in Reed Elsevier’s Travel Group [Debrief, 5-99], the Audit Bureau of Circulations and international accountancy firm Arthur Anderson have joined lawyers Freshfields in the post mortem. This will focus on a number of travel guides and directories audited by VAC, a California-based circulation audit specialist. The findings of the investigation will be laid before the RE audit committee of non-executive directors. The Sheraton and Hyatt hotel chains, British Airways and United Airlines are among advertisers supporting RE travel publications.
